When you kill a beast, say to him in your heart:
~By the same power that slays you, I too am slain, and I too shall be consumed.
~For the law that delivers you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.
~Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven.
And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.

Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason." And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky, - then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion.
Kahlil GibranBut I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret.
Kahlil GibranLa vostra gioia è il vostro dolore senza maschera,
E il pozzo da cui scaturisce il vostro riso, è stato sovente colmo di lacrime.
E come può essere altrimenti?
Quanto più a fondo vi scava il dolore, tanta più gioia potrete contenere.
ليس مَن يُصغي إلى الحقِّ بأقلَّ مِمَّن ينطقه
Kahlil Gibranفي كلِّ فردٍ منّا شخصان: واحدٌ يقظٌ في العتمة والآخر غافلٌ في النُّور.
Kahlil Gibranاحتقرتُ نفسي سبعَ مرَّات:
الأولى، عندما رأيتُها تتظاهرُ الوضاعة وهي تنشدُ الرِّفعة.
والثانية عندما رأيتها تترنَّح متجاوزة العَرْجى.
والثالثة عندما خُيِّرتْ بين السَّهل والشَّاق ففضَّلت السَّهل.
والرابعة عندما اقترفَتْ ذنباً وراحتْ تبرِّره باقتراف الآخرين ذنوباً مماثلة.
والخامسة عندما عجِزَتْ عن فعل شيء لضعفها وعزَتْ صبرَها إلى القوَّة.
والسادسة عندما احتقرتْ بشاعة وجهٍ تبيَّن أنه أحدُ براقعها.
والسابعة عندما غنَّتْ مديحاً واعتبرتْ غناءَها فضيلة.
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.
